The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi died on Sunday after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys. SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.

The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.

The High Court demanded the city find an answer to the problem last year.

Solution elusive

One approach has bajwa, a member of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is survived by his wife and a son, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

I say we go all Taylor on their primate rear ends and avert a Planet of the Apes!

Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!

It’s a madhouse! A madhouse! If I’d warned the Deputy Mayor once, I’d warned him a hundred times: don’t wear the banana-scented aftershave! Taylor shows us the way. This key piece of dialog says it all:

Cornelius: Taylor, you are not in command here. Put down that gun!
George Taylor: Shut up!

Jaytee, indeed you are correct! Is it just coincidence that Mr Heston had risen to prominence in the NRA? Of course not – the powers that be know the ape revolt is coming, and who has more experience to fight them than Charlton Heston?

Nobody.

As you wisely write, this is no time to monkey around! When the Ape-Human war comes, I’m going down fighting! Charge!!!!
